The story, beat by beat
- The brahmin Sudharma and his wife Sudeha have no child.
- Sudeha makes her husband marry her younger sister Ghushma.
- Ghushma shapes a hundred and one clay lingas every day and sinks them in the pond after worship.
- She bears a son, and Sudeha's jealousy grows as the boy grows.
- One night Sudeha kills the sleeping boy and throws his body in the pond.
- Ghushma finds the bed empty and goes on with her worship as always.
- The boy walks out of the pond alive; Shiva appears and offers to punish Sudeha.
- Ghushma asks him to forgive her sister and to stay at the place for ever.
